This is the main Latvian verb conjugation template. It has the main principal forms of the verb and the conjugation type as its input, and a conjugation table as its output.
First of all, the named parameter {{{pol}}} identifies a verb as positive or negative (if negative, {{{pol}}} = ne; if positive, {{{pol}}} is left undefined). If the verb is negative, then the positive infinitive must be indicated with the parameter {{{inf}}} (i.e., for netulkot "not translate", {{{pol}}} = ne and {{{inf}}} = tulkot).
The basic parameter is {{{3}}}, which contains the conjugation type. Values: {{{3}}} = 1st (first conjugation), 2nd (second conjugation, or 3rd (third conjugation). A second basic parameter is {{{4}}}, in that if it is set to "only-3rd", then only the third persons will be displayed (the others will be replaced with a long dash); if it is not "only-3rd", then the following is valid:
If {{{3}}} = 2nd, then:
{{{1}}} = verb stem (without the thematic vowel);{{{2}}} = thematic vowel;{{{4}}} (optional): for verbs that can be conjugated both as * 2nd and 3rd conjugation verbs, this parameter must be set to "3rd".If {{{3}}} = 3rd, then:
{{{1}}} = verb stem (without the thematic vowel, and, for alternating palatalizing verbs, without the final consonant);{{{2}}} = thematic vowel;{{{4}}} = (for alternating palatalizing verbs) the final consonant in the present stem (either "k" or "g");{{{5}}} = (for alternating palatalizing verbs) the final consonant in the past stem (either "c" or "dz");{{{irr}}} = the irregular stem of some irregular verbs (e.g., tecēt, gulēt);{{{irr1}}} = 1 if the verb (ending in -āt) has an irregular zero-marked third person instead of -a (e.g., dziedāt, raudāt; for other cases, {{{irr1}}} is left unspecified.If {{{3}}} = 1st, then:
{{{1}}} = infinitive stem (i.e., the infinitive form minus the final -t; for stems in -zt, -st, and palatalizing stems in -kt, -gt, also minus the stem-final consonant, see the following two points how to specify them);
zstd= with the value being past stem-final consonant, verbs with 3past ending in -za, -da, -ta will need this always;kc= to specify k or g;{{{2}}} = the first-person present stem;{{{4}}} = the second-person present stem;{{{5}}} = i if the second-person present form ends in i; otherwise, it is left unspecified.{{{6}}} = the past tense stem.{{{7}}} = ī if there is an additional ī between the stem and the future tense endings{{{8}}} = conjugation subtype (for categorization); possible values (the default value is "irregular"):
Very irregular verbs bypass this template and call {{lv-conj-table}} directly (see, e.g., būt).
